England Boosts Squad with Wyatt-Hodge for India T20 Series

England on Tuesday added Danni Wyatt-Hodge and Maia Bouchier in their squad for the three-match women's T20I series against India starting on May 28.

England and India will face off in the series beginning at Chelmsford on Thursday ahead of the women's T20 World Cup next month.

Wyatt-Hodge, however, will be available only for the final two matches of the series, the ECB said in a statement on Tuesday.

''Danni Wyatt-Hodge will join the England Women squad ahead of the three-match Vitality IT20 series with India and will be available for the final two matches. As a result Charis Pavely has now returned to Warwickshire,'' the ECB said.

''Maia Bouchier has been added to the squad for the India series, while Lauren Filer has been released to play for Durham against Surrey on Wednesday before returning to the squad for the rest of the India series,'' it added.

The second and third T20Is will be played at Bristol and Taunton on May 30 and June 2 respectively. England and India will also play in a one-off Test at Lord's after the women's T20 World Cup.
